"Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."
Benjamin Franklin

Didn't get done all the things I wanted.   Its good that I don't have a need to be done by list.   The biggest thing was to clear out the attic (partially done) it was limited by the lack of space when I unloaded the things.    Most of it went to my sister whose church is having a rummage sale to support the youth group.

This cleaning of the attic needs to be done on a cooler day.  On Tuesday the carpet guy came to clean and the great excape by Molly.   Molly is neurotic and runs and hides.   The telephone repair guy came too and Molly got out of the bedroom, where I had placed her to keep her out of harms way.   

Came home from the mall and all cats were out but Molly.   The carpet guy had the front door open while he cleaned.  I called and called by NO CAT.   We look around the yard and all the places she may have gone.   NO CAT.   We walked around the block and NO CAT.   I made up lost cat signs to post the next day.  It was also Emilys birthday and we cancelled her dinner because of NO CAT.  I was heart broken because she is so stupid and neurotic.

At 8 pm while I was feeding the remaining cats I caught a grey streak out of my peripheral vision.   There was THE CAT.  She had hid in the basement for 8 hours and now was hiding in the bedroom.  Neurotic was could be.   We thought we were going to have to take her for therapy.  But two days later she has bounced back to her "normal nutty" self.

What a fruitcake is she...........................

 

Sunday

Another week gone by.   This week we are off.   My goal is to clean stuff out of the attic,  I can't remember what is up there, other than the Christmas decorations.    Tomorrow will be cool and so will the attic.   That would be mission impossible for a summer project..............

I think the rain has ended for now.   Yesterday was nice and so was today after noon.   The funny part is that it rained for 12 days and we just now have eliminated our water deficit.   I guess now we will have a drought for the rest of the summer.   It will probably be in the 80, unless it goes to the 90's.

More on the weeks progress later...................

Monday

I haven't written for awhile.  I guess that is because there is a pseudo--- smoothness !!!!!   So far everything appers to be going well.   Of course, that is subject to a fast and furious change.  

Dear Lord let it be so.........I think she may be finished.    The last class was finished and today we sent the transcript.    But I will feel comfortable when the diploma comes.       She could have has a Masters degree in the time she spent on this one.

I also feel like if things apear to be going well, I have obviously overlooked something...............................

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin

It has been a while since I have written.  Don't know where the time goes.   I guess that is one of the mysteries of life.  

Went to my daughters final peformance of the season.  And signed up for season ticket for next year.   Looks like it will be a good year. 

I think (extremely hopefully) that she is FINALLY finished with college.   That last class proved to be a giant PITA.   The problem is that she never checked her final grades last fall.   She assures me things are well, and in fact she assumes that they are and doesn't check.   I can understand that with some items, like feeding the cats.  But, when something is as important as grades and finishing your degree  DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING.

Next week will be a busy one for her.  It is the 25th anniversary sale and she is working every day and there is a special going on each day too.

Cool today or maybe the weather is just seasonable.   The leaves are finally coming out.   They are out where we live but on our way to Johnstown the leaves are not as far advanced.   Johnstown is in the mountains and you could actually see the difference with the increase in elevation.

 

what is she saying????

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
Agnes de Mille

Agnes said a lot here but what did she really say????
